They really fell victim to having too many good players and couldn't afford to keep them. The salaries and Kane and Toews contributed just a bit. They were in deep regardless.

It's not very realistic in a cap era to expect more than 3 cups in a short window. At some point too many players get paid for that success, players start to age out and extra games take a toll on players.
3 in 6 is still the best we have seen.
